watercolor 55
a tray of brownies with walnuts i made this morning
3:18 PM: busy morning baking brownies and making oatmeal with many healthy ingredients. and then, when the moment was right, or ripe, i launched into watercolor 55. riffing along the lines of the direction i’ve been moving recently, i had a hankering for grey. but it was only the kind of grey i could get by using gouache colors. since there’s no one looking over my shoulder to say “hey, you can’t use gouache colors in a watercolor!” i squeezed some black & white out on my palette. it was certainly an interesting, even rich addition to the palette i had been using in the previous 54 watercolors! i’ll evaluate later over at the house.
just learned, by the way, that my carbondale show, which had been postponed due to covid19, is now back on for august. i’m thinking i’ll show a selection of the watercolors plus 2-3 of the sound of a flute series. whether or not i’ll be able at that point to present an interactive talk is still a question.
